The Name Remembrance Effect is the tendency of students to comply more readily with the requests of a professor who remembers the students’ names than with those of a professor who does not remember the students’ names. The Complimentary Perceptions Explanation for this effect argues that greater compliance is a reciprocal response to receipt of a perceived compliment implied by the act of name remembrance. The Fear of Retribution Explanation argues that greater compliance is due to students’ fear of the consequences of not complying with the requests of a professor who recognizes them individually.

Think of it as positive reinforcement and negative reinforcement.
The reinforcment is 'Remember the name' --> The work the professors want gets done.
The students disagree on whether its positive or negative that they remember the name.

I don't still get it why 'D' is something that these two explanation disagree with
